Daniele Baselli cancelled out Carlos Bacca's opener to help Torino to a 1-1 draw against AC Milan in Saturday's Serie A encounter at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.
Riccardo Montolivo and Giacomo Bonaventura threatened for Milan in the opening 45 minutes, yet both failed to break the deadlock as it remained all square at half-time.
Failure to see out the win will do Sinisa Mihajlovic's job prospects no good, amid sustained reports that Milan's hierarchy are already thinking of dispensing of his services.
Both sides struggled to impose themselves on the opening stages of the match. Montolivo was the first to try his luck in the 17th minute, but the Milan captain blasted his opportunistic shot over the crossbar.
Montolivo again looked dangerous shortly after when he went past Kamil Glik inside the area before unleashing a powerful left-footed shot, yet Daniele Padelli pulled off a fine save to deny the Italy international. Milan came close to opening the scoring at the half-hour mark.
Bonaventura stepped up to a free-kick just outside the left-hand side of the area, but the attacking midfielder was unfortunate to see his attempt hit the side netting.
Mihajlovic's men were awarded another free-kick in a dangerous position shortly before the break, yet Alex went for power rather than accuracy and hit his shot wide of the target.
Torino finally had their first shot of the game halfway through the second half, yet Daniele Baselli's long-range strike was deflected wide for a corner.
Maxi Lopez should have gifted Torino the lead in the 82nd minute after a quick counterattack, only to see his low shot at the near post saved by his namesake in the visitors' goal as Mihajlovic clung on to a point that may do little to help his individual cause.
